In the Thesaurus of the far right, the words liberal, progressive, and socialist are presented almost as synonyms for autocratic, dictatorial, or evil. There are any number of counter-arguments; here's one that supports the title of this post.
In the deep-red, AKA Republican, state of Wyoming, the legislature passed a bill that flies in the face of a study done by the University of Wyoming. That study evaluates coal versus natural gas versus renewables, and comes out heavily on the side of the latter two. But the bill just passed provides taxpayer $$$ to support failing coal-fired power plants, even those which the industry itself has said need to be closed.
Like we said, socialism for the 1% - straight out of the Thesaurus of the far right ...
